Sophie Cleverly
Saturday 14 March 11am

Sophie Cleverly was born in Bath in 1989. She has a BA in
Creative Writing and an MA in Writing for Young People. Her
book series Scarlet and Ivy and The Violet Veil Mysteries are
published by HarperCollins worldwide, as well as being
translated into 9 different languages so far. Aside from writing,
she can often be found listening to symphonic metal, watching
fantastical TV and struggling to find her way out of her ever-
increasing pile of books.

“A true page-turning, nail biting mystery.”
“Very clever hidden clues in the story, so you can solve the mystery too!”
“I could not put this book down.”
This is the story of how I became my sister…

The Aardman lights at Longleat were AMAZING and I would recommend, but what was up with the bizarre AI generated shop windows 😅😫😫 burned skeleton in a coffee shop, anyone?

Look who's back in print! We had a bunch of issues after a cyber attack on the printers and a new giant warehouse caused this book to mysteriously disappear for a while, but Violet is now back on the case 🤞 uk.bookshop.org/a/2621/97800...

A Case of Misfortune update! The book has been out of print for a while due to an unfortunate combo of a cyber attack at the printers and a new warehouse for the publishers with new systems. But a reprint has now been ordered and hopefully the book will be available again next month🔮

I haven't been able to read a Discworld book for years for stupid brain reasons. Finally persuaded myself to read this and I'm so glad I did. I absolutely loved it and cried a lot 😭❤️ thank you @rhi.bsky.social @gabriellekent.bsky.social and Paul Kidby for creating this wonderful book

Found this AI picture on a school dinners website and concerned by what it thinks British school is like. Apparently it's 1904 and kids eat cake on a bed of beans and lettuce

Hello #kidlituk_intro 👋 slowly escaping from XTwitter... I'm Sophie and I'm a disabled author from Wiltshire. I mainly write spooky historical MG mysteries and I enjoy all things fantastical. Also a big fan of symphonic metal, graveyards and knowing too much about Discworld...
